Xenoblade X posting like it's 2017,,,,,,,
This is a gift for @jammboe who is a wonderful friend that I got to know because of this game~ (pls check him out he makes art too and is very very good at it!!!!!)
In general I made so many amazing friends bc of XCX, which is why it will always have a very special place in my heart
(I've recently been hit with major emotions over it and I've been playing it a bit again just to exist in its world, and it's been so much fun! Even though I barely have anything left to do in it whoops)

pure vanilla cookie analysis- major CRK spoilers ahead!!
it must be so wild to find out that the power you earnt, the ability bestowed upon you for being pure and worthy, is nothing more than a fraction of everything you fight against. to watch the light of freedom be corrupted by the realisation your kind aren't meant to live, and see what should encourage peace be warped into a motive for destruction. to know that the devastation sent through the land is because you couldn't uphold your promise of keeping it all from going too far. to wait for the night of the crescent moon and attempt to fix it all, only to wind up with nothing more than a curse instead and nobody to blame but yourself. to be attacked in your homeland, to watch a war break out that you know is your fault, and to have the only way to stop it be to sacrifice your own power, the power you've used to bring together your world. to have it all taken away of your own volition in what should have been a final fight, to attempt to banish yourself and the one you love most for the good of all, to send away your people and your kingdom and everything you know. to try to isolate yourself for an eternity in a final, desperate act of sacrifice even though you know you cannot die. to expect that to be the end, only to go down in history as a legend and wander alone years later with no memory of your past and the last remnants of your soul appearing through your dreams. to wonder how you came to be, how you're still alive, then to remember it all and regain an identity that has lost its allure to your failures.
to be reminded of your mistakes by the harbingers of all that you oppose, to be easily incapacitated by reminders of how little purity you have left. to set out to reunite with others of your stature, your friends, to find those who share a common goal of protection, and find out just how deeply this power has corrupted their lives. to regain your strength and watch as the person who used to be your closest friend repeatedly pushes you away, insistent that you are but an obstacle she needs to be rid of, to find that same friend's soul split in two. to be a healer, to have the designated role of repairing and cleansing, only to struggle for a solution that will fix wounds that seem far too deep to close. to cause damage and harm and devastation despite wanting anything but, and see those who stayed steadfastly, fatally loyal to you fall at the hands of a monster you crafted. to search for the truth because you are the truth, you have been since you faced the trials and passed, and now it's up to you to find a way to fix this.
to learn that more of your own soul could be used to bring part of a loved, corrupted hero you have missed more than anything back, and to offer it up without hesitation regardless of the impact it could have on yourself. to be denied further sacrifice and see her return, only for her to push you away even now, desiring solitude rather than the solidarity you have been craving for years and years and years. to discover that your power is not your own, that it once belonged to another, that it was salvaged from corruption and destruction and illusions. to encompass light and purity and selflessness and leadership and truth, only to find out that you are nothing more than hastily purified deceit. to be selected as the one to stop the chaos and hatred, to have the fate of the world rest on your decisions.
to see the original wielder of your power be released and know that all you have is the result of another's descent into darkness. to see that your predecessor is a cookie and a beast all at once, to know that they are infinitely stronger than you and back in your world, among those you love. to be the parallel to a monster, the immovable object to an unstoppable force, to reflect deceit with a light of truth you can no longer truly trust. to discover your values are not inherently good, that they are born of the aftermath of evil, that you are simply a tiny fragment of unimaginable power where you used to be considered one of the strongest beings in existence. to see the cycle repeat in the one you care for most, and watch her blame herself for the horrors that have passed and the horrors to come, and wish you had prevented all of this while you still could. to see that your life is built on a throne of lies, and face off against a puppetmaster who shows undeniable, damning similarities to yourself, even down to his appearance. to be alone and yet not, to have power and know it has been corrupted before, to see what you have the potential to become if ever your soul begins to regress. to have back half of what you have so dearly missed, but at what cost? to know you must defend, must remain good, and try not to fall as the weight of your entire world settles heavily on your shoulders, because you are a protector, a ruler, a symbol, a hero, a healer, an embodiment of knowledge and greatness and power and truth, even as the very foundation of all you thought you knew continues to crumble bit by bit. wild.

I don’t understand what people get out of making fun of those who are worried about these upcoming heat waves. Like of course people who live up north who have never experienced these temperatures will not know how to deal with it. People WILL die due to heat exposure because they don’t have the means or knowlege on how to keep their house cool.
I don’t understand how it’s your first instinct to make fun of mothers who are concerned because their toddlers are suffering due to heat and not offering some advice if you’re someone living in a country where temperatures above 35C are normal. It’s just gross and insensetive and I don’t understand why people are like this.

Evil girls. Girls who run you over with a train. Girls who run experiments on you. Girls who take you on a train ride and then one of the passengers is murdered and you have to figure out who the killer is before you arrive at the station. Girls who pulls a lever that opens a trap door beneath you. Girls who treats her henchmen poorly. Girls who strike fear into the neighbors.

Free TTRPG Art - Puppeteer Spider
I appreciate the patience! I am working on this month’s monster now, but in the meantime, have last month’s - the puppeteer spider! It has a bit more narrow usage, but spiders lend themselves very well to traps and lair setups. This one could have an extra hypnotic flair.

I know this comes a few days late but Happy March everyone! 💚🍀 I’m briefly checking in with a long awaited announcement because you know I can never go without one after a while.
As most of you already know John Wick: Chapter 4 is set to be released this month and I will be in attendance. 🙌🏽😭 I’ll waited for nearly three years and I can’t wait to finally see it. Not only that but I’ll have more material to write with. Now in celebration of our favorite stoic hitman being on screen once again, I plan to upload back to back Skyline chapters for the entire months of March and April. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I’ll likely update at the very least, two chapters per month, maybe even more depending on how fast I can crank them out. I’ve had this planned for about five months and already mapped out the next four chapters in advance, one of which (Chapter 35) is currently finished and set to be released at the readers discretion. If everyone would like the chapter to be released this week or next please let me know. 🙇🏽♀️ I’m beyond excited for you guys to see what happens both good and bad depending on how you look at it. 😂🤷🏽♀️ Let me just say y’all are in for a treat regardless! The story is about to take a wild new turn and we’re about to get deeper into the lore and world that is John Wick.
All I can say is…prepare yourselves. QUICKLY. TeeJay out! ✌🏾
